made at the Brooklyn tabernacle. Ar
adjoined lecture room has been built
so that during the week it is used by
itself, but on the Sabbath it is thrown
into the main auditorium and filled 10y
those sitting or standing. Notwith-
standing the enlargement the crowds
that go away not able to get inside the
building are greater this fall than ever
before. To-day the pastor explained
appropriate passages OF scripture.
Professor Browne rendered upon the
organ the First Sonata in ID Minor,
Ritter. The text of the sermon was
from Ii Corinthians. Oh. viii, x, 3:
"Ye know the grace Of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your
sakes He became poor:"
DIR. Talmage said:
That all the worlds which on a cold
winters night make the heavens n
great glitter are inhabitant.ess is an
absurdity. Philosophers tell us that
many Of these worlds are too hot or
too cold or too rarified of atmosphere
for re sidence. But, if not fit for human
abode. they may be fit for beings diff
fere from and superior to ourselves.
We are told that the world of Jupiter
is changing until it is almost fit for
creatures like the human race, and
that Mars would do for the human
family with a little change in the
structure of the respiratory organs.

swung somewhere, vast beyond imagI-
nation, and that it is the headquarters
of the universe, and the metropolis of
~immenslty, and has a population in
numbers vast beyond all statistics, and
appointments of splendor beyond the
capacity Of canvas, Or poem, or
angel to describe, is as certain
rs the Bible is authentic.
Perhaps some of the astronomers
with their big telescopes have already

nineteen centuries ago. He was the
Kings son. 1t was the old homestead
of eternity, and all its castles were as
old as God. Not a frost had ever
chilled the air. Not a tear had ever
rolled down the cheek of one of it's in
habitants. There had never been in it
a headache, OF a sideache, or a heart
ache. There had not been a funeral in
the memory of the Oldest inhabitant.
There had never in all the land been
woven a black veil, for there had never
been anything to mourn over. The
passage of millions of years had not
wrinkled or crippled or bedimmed any
of its citizens. All the people there
were in a state of eternal adolescence.
What floral and pomonic richness!
Gardens of perpetual bloom and
orchards in unending fruitage. Had
some spirit from another world entered
and asked, what is sinp what is be

The Prince of whom | speak had
donors, emoluments, acclamations,
such as no other prince, celestial or
terrestrial, ever enjoyed. As He passed
the street the inhabitants took off from
their brows
GARLANDs OF WHITE lilies
and threw them in the way. He never
entered any of the temples without all
the worshippers rising up and bowling
in o~beisance. In all the professions of
the high days He was the one who
evoked the ioudest welcome. Some
times OH foot, walking in loving talk
with the humblest of the land. but at
other times He took chariot, and among
the 10000 that David spoke of
His was the swiftcst and smost fam
ing; or, rs when John described
Him, He took white palfrey with what
prance Of foot, and arch of neck, and
roll of name, and CLEAN Of eye is only
dimly suggested in the Apocalypse.
He was not hike other princes, waiting
for the Father to die and then take the
frone. When a few years ago an ar
Gst in Germany made a picture for the
Royal Galley representing Emperor
William on the throne. and the Crown
Prince as h wing one foot on the step
of the throne, Emperor William ordered
the picture changed and said: .'Let
the prince keep his foot of the throne
till 1 leave It,"
